"Hick... Yuki-san, hick... Mana-san, I'm in bad shape... Hick."
Embracing Yuki tightly, Kurumi cried. She had just escaped from hell, using it as an excuse, she quickly reached Yuki and embraced him.
At the same time, she stuck her tongue out at Mana, who looked at her with fire in her eyes.
["Bitch! Why don't you die?!"]
"It's alright, calm down."
Yuki, on the other hand, rolled his eyes. Kurumi was exaggerating; it's true that Mana tried to kill her by infecting her with the Apocalypse virus, but killing this woman is more difficult than climbing to the sky. After all, she has the power of Time, easily using the fourth bullet to rewind her body's time and escape to her shadow dimension. There was no need for Yuki to heal her.
But Kurumi likes drama, so she took the opportunity to throw herself into Yuki's arms. Even though Mana almost killed her, she turned it into an opportunity to steal her boyfriend.
And she was right...
But what man would refuse?
When this sexy woman used her appearance to seduce him, even kissing him with love.
Yuki couldn't resist that!
Especially seeing her teary eyes and Zafkiel inciting him to commit a crime.
That's why Yuki accepted her hug, at the same time eliminating the virus in her blood.
*Pufff
But while he was at it, the monsters around them turned into smoke, along with the Corrupt Spirit.
"Hm? Did you already devour it?"
Looking doubtfully at Kurumi in his arms, Yuki was surprised at how quickly this woman acted.
"Fufufu, you underestimate me, Yuki-san."
Winking, and pulling a light green mana stone from her shadow, Kurumi played with it before passing it to Yuki.
Seeing this, Inori was surprised since she didn't know when Kurumi did it. After crying and running towards Yuki, Kurumi didn't fight anymore.
"Well, I hope you used the tenth bullet."
"Of course~... And I must say, Yuki-san, you were right. There are some interesting things you'd like to know. Hihihi."
Smiling and pressing her cheeks even more against his chest, Kurumi enjoyed this rare moment, at the same time telling him various things about that spirit.
Yuki, on the other hand, was curious. He looked at the mana stone with interest before returning it to Kurumi. This was her loot after all.
"I understand now... I suppose darkness is present in all living beings, including the Gods."
Shaking his head, Yuki remembered something important. No matter what world he's in, selfishness and hatred are always present, no matter the race. After all, his suspicions turned out to be true.
The dungeon couldn't create corrupt spirits; this spirit was the work of a God. Likewise, the dungeon contributed its bit, making this monster more powerful by giving it rich food.
Yuki held Gods in high esteem. That's why he tolerated the Champion's fever and the whims of his goddess and stalker. But there was a limit.
"To think that a God would ally with monsters to destroy the world... How unpleasant."
"Um~ Isn't that normal? There are good and bad gods."
Although Yuki was disappointed, Kurumi didn't think much of it. In the world, there were always people like them who sought destruction.
"Even if you're right, it's still disappointing."
To think that the race he always saw as pure turned out to be as ordinary as any other disappointed Yuki.
Gods have desires like any race, and therefore, they have malice within them. Even though they create worlds, they still seek to destroy them. It was unpleasant.
For a God to be with the enemy of the world is something Yuki didn't want to see.
After all, his crown turned dark when he thought about it, and the anger within him was increasing.
There was something Champions couldn't tolerate...
And that's those who seek to destroy the world, no matter who the enemy is, they make sure to destroy it, even if it's a God.
[Master]
Feeling his master's anger, Est couldn't help but worry. After all, she understood that for Yuki, the world was very important, and someone messing with his mother was a taboo.
"What should we do, Yuki?"
Seeing his boyfriend's furrowed brow, Inori asked worriedly. It was rare to see Yuki angry.
No, she had never seen Yuki angry. He always smiled or frowned. Even when he saved her in his world, he never got angry.
"For now, let's leave those gods alone. We still have to keep going down."
"Alright, let's go down~"
Sighing, Yuki controlled his anger. Although he must say that this was new for him, after all, unless someone messes with his loved ones, Yuki wouldn't get angry. The last time he showed anger was when his clan was massacred in his world.
But now, these feelings came from his crown.

Labyrinth City Orario, Dungeon Floor 60
"This... Can't be possible..."
With trembling words, Yuki opened his eyes wide.
"Ara~ I guess it's a good time to retreat, Yuki-san."
Shaking her head, the shadow under Kurumi trembled. The scene in front of them was incredibly unbelievable.
[I agree with the goth; it's time to go back.]
"Yuki..."
Gripping her sword, Inori swallowed nervously. She and Mana could smell the danger, as well as the desperation that crossing this floor meant.
[Master, our energy won't be enough if we want to get through.]
Even Est could see that it would be very difficult for them to cross this floor, not to mention the amount of energy they had used on the previous floors.
"These things shouldn't be here!"
Clenching his fists, Yuki couldn't believe it. In front of them was an army of tens of thousands.
And it wasn't just any army, but one that Yuki was familiar with.
An army of skeletons armed to the teeth. But that's not all.
"A Death Knight shouldn't exist!"
---
(TN: Is bone daddy Ainz attacking? 😆)
---
High above the army were 5 bone dragons floating, and 5 knights riding those huge beasts.
Yuki, of course, recognized these beings...
How could he not? After all, these beings were something Yuki fought in the past.
Or rather, something his 'avatar' fought; a creature from the Shitty Game world.
"Wait... Yes, Death Knights exist. That means..."
Swallowing hard, Yuki looked towards the end of the army where a small wall stood. A figure with a mysterious hood held a skeletal staff...
"A Dark Wizard..."
Where there was a Death Knight, there always had to be a Dark Wizard. And with how troublesome it was to deal with those types, Yuki felt a cold sweat run down his back.
After all, a being that couldn't die unless treated with sacred magic or sealed was a pain in the ass, not to mention its troublesome ability to summon Death Knights, whose power was at Rank 5.
A creature capable of rivaling a Kage, a mid-tier Tectonic, and there were 5 of those things there, in addition to the monstrous army.
There was no doubt; at this moment, it was impossible for them to advance, unless they returned to the previous floor and fully restored their energy. However, that would increase their chances, but it wouldn't guarantee success. Yuki knew how dangerous a Death Knight was, as well as how difficult it was to deal with a Dark Wizard.
In this case, Yuki and Est could triumph; after all, Est was considered a Holy Sword in her world, and together with Yuki, they could win. But the amount of effort it would take, as well as the success, was uncertain.
(If these things are here... What's below? How many floors does this dungeon have?)
Thinking about the creatures from the Shitty Game, Yuki had a headache.
"Well, for now, let's retreat."
"I agree."
"Yes~"
[Agreed]
Turning on his heels, the group returned from where they came without causing any trouble. For the first time Yuki entered the dungeon, he was forced to retreat. This said a lot about how powerful the enemies were.
Fortunately, the army didn't act and let the group march in peace.
